Dayang Bunting Lake or 'Tasik Dayang Bunting', Langkawi

The island, which is about 20
kilometres from Kuah town, is
modestly populated on one
side
and virtually uninhabited on
the other where the lake is
situated.

The legend of Tasik Dayang
Bunting goes like this: The
favourite bathing pool of a
celestial princess named
Mambang Sari was said to be
Tasik Dayang Bunting (Lake of
the Pregnant Maiden). A
prince, Mat Teja, fell madly
in love with her and tricked
her into marrying him.

Sadly, their child died from
a
mysterious illness at the age
of seven days. Distraught,
the
grieving Mambang Sari left
the
child's body in the lake and
returned to her heavenly
abode. Today, some believe
that barren women who bathe
in
this lake will be endowed
with
a child.
